Lol... you can have our old datsun wagon w/ 220 grand on it...
If i had to put money on it, id say it was one of three things. Bad spark coil, bad electronic spark control module thingy, or a dud pick up coil. The best way to find out how to test these things would be to get a helms or chiltons manual... Either way, the manuals are just a good investment.

I had this happen to me once. It was on a 95 Talon TSi. Not sure if this will apply but.......
check your cam and crank sensors. if either aren't working you'll get no spark.

Judging by your pic and the db i read on the firebirds I'd say you have a 305 as well unless you dropped in a 350.

240,

What's happening with the "SECURITY" lamp on the dash when you try to start the engine?

Sweet car either way. I wanted black but 92 GTA's are hard to find for a decent price. I ended up stuck with red.
